locally grown houses

In flora, when common species hit ground in Costa Vicentina, its characteristics change and a new breed is born.

 

Architecture should do so as well. 

as vicentinas is our take on the development of a new local species. 

 

One house at a time.

A house within a garden rather than a house with a garden.

A cascade of outdoor spaces lead greenery from the ground-floor grass and flower garden to the first floor pergola and from there to the rooftop Prune-Tree-shaded viewpoint.

Its south-facing facade image has more to do with what flourishes in the sun than with any architectural-style desire: a bougainvillea slowly climbing the wall, a bench waiting for someone to sit and relax, a window thick enough to fit an inside-outside table.

THESE ARE THE AS VICENTINAS'

design features

FEATURES

flexible plan

Every house plan allows for a unit (room+bathroom = small studio) to be used integrated or separated through an independent access.

Rent it, lend it, share it, keep it.

FLEXIBLE PLAN.jpg

sun facing rooftop

Sunny South, Windy North.

Each vicentina has a rooftop solving this equation and extending unlimited views over the surroundings.

SUN FACING ROOFTOP.jpg

inhabitable windows

Windows thick enough to inhabit.

The openings are designed as spatial displays to live the exterior rather than just framing it.

WINDOWS_02.jpg

endemic green facade

Each vicentina is a new piece in an existing fauna and flora environment. In that sense, the facade is used to kindly add flora (and, indirectly, fauna) to the place it is inserted to.

Compensating construction with plantation right on the spot, not somewhere else.

ENDEMIC GREEN FACADE.jpg

locally sourced materials

Both Alentejo and Algarve have a century-old amazing range of traditional materials, colors, architectural solutions and construction techniques.

Every vicentina is an opportunity to learn from and use this patrimony.

LOCALLY SOURCED MATERIALS.jpg

territory color palette

The tectonic landscape of Costa Vicentina 

turns visible the beautiful layers it's made of.

As vicentinas, at its small scale, extends

this unique palette into the thin new layer they're adding to the existing territory.

About

A LITTLE BIT 

about us

Pedro Barata and Pedro Silva are the co-founders of as vicentinas.

They have been traveling to the south of Portugal to surf for twenty years, to design houses for ten and to advise and invest in real estate for five. 

Pedro and Pedro are also the founders of Anarchlab, the award-winning architecture company based in Lisbon and Porto (and now Vila do Bispo).

While Anarchlab has both architecture and construction management parts covered in as vicentinas, frequent site visits and preferred local partners continuously survey the local real estate.
